Engineers have pioneered an easy and inexpensive method for creating hybrid structures by coating CNTs with aerosol nanoparticles. The lab also has produced a low-cost way to make "custom"nanoparticles that gives them full control over the structure's final properties. Small nanoparticles bring big improvement to medical imaging
Scientists have discovered a method of using nanoparticles to illuminate the cellular interior to reveal the slow, complex processes taking place in a living cell. Clay Material May Have Acted As 'Primordial Womb' For First Organic Mo
Arizona State University geochemist Lynda Williams and her colleagues have discovered that clay minerals under conditions at the bottom of the ocean may have acted as incubators for the first organic molecules on Earth. The results of Williams' experiments were published in the article, "Organic Molecules Formed in a Primordial Womb,"in the November issue of Geology. Not My Bomb, Baby
